3. Menu and Atmosphere of Numazu Port Shinjuku Main Store
Upon entering, the author found the menu prices relatively high, with nothing appealing in the 1,100 yen range. The menu items in the 2,380 yen range seemed more interesting but still pricey for items like sardines priced at around 200 yen.
4. What the Author Ordered at Numazu Port Shinjuku Main Store
The author ordered the restaurant's specialty, the Mount Fuji Sushi. The restaurant did not have a conveyor belt for sushi, and orders were taken directly from the staff. The author found the interior of the restaurant simple and not matching the price range.
5. Food Experience at Numazu Port Shinjuku Main Store
The author ordered a beer, sardines, amberjack, and octopus as recommended items. The amberjack had a firm texture with a slight chewiness and less fatty. The octopus had a soft texture and a mild flavor. The sardines were of decent quality with good fat content. The author then ordered the Mount Fuji Sushi with sea urchin and whitebait, but found the sea urchin to be slightly dry and lacking sweetness. The whitebait was extremely bitter, indicating it was not fresh. The author decided to leave the restaurant, feeling uneasy, and the total bill came to 3,860 yen, exceeding expectations.
